We sit down with Mitchell Wendling to unpack how a former college athlete becomes a wellness leader by leaning on discipline, seasons of training, and simple systems. We keep coming back to one idea that cuts through the noise: train hard, then recover on purpose so you can keep showing up. 

• Mitchell’s path from basketball to kinesiology to leading a private club wellness program 
• The mental shift from sport performance to real life accountability 
• Discipline at home as the difference maker for body composition and health goals 
• Building group fitness momentum and planning for a new fitness facility 
• Fitness seasons as a way to stay curious and avoid burnout 
• Consistency as doing something even when life gets busy or travel hits 
• Program design built on squat hinge push pull carry lunge patterns 
• Rotation and anti-rotation training for golf and everyday strength 
• Half Ironman training with written weekly plans and morning sessions 
• Recovery maxing through downtime quiet space and sauna routines 
• Hydration as a daily non-negotiable with a measurable system 
• Wellness defined as proactive self-care across stress sleep and physical health 

We look forward to being together with you next Wednesday. Episodes come out every single week.
